    Removing blue Q during the Quicktime buffering process

    Posted by Douglas Morlock on May 22, 2008 at 1:26 am

    Hi there,

    I had 2 questions:

    1. Does anyone know how to get rid of the blue Q that pops up pryor to the movie starting. I heard about SMIL authoring. Can someone simplify a procedure to accomplish removing this. I would just prefer black before the movie starts.

    2.If I save my after effects quicktime movie with the photo-jpeg
    codec. I just wanted to know that quicktime isn’t then re-compressing it? If this was the case, I would save it out with the animation codec.

    Thanks so much,
    Doug

    Hi Doug,

    I can’t help you with the first question but with regards to #2, if you’re just playing it back through Quicktime then no it won’t be recompressing it. You compress it to Photo-JPEG on output, and unless you put it through another piece of encoding software, it will play out as Photo-JPEG.

    HTH,
    Ben
